Summary:[Barry Hannah]'s first collection of stories, "Airships" (1978), is considered a classic of modern Southern fiction. Of the stories in his next collection, "Bats Out of Hell" (1993), our reviewer said that they "reek with political incorrectness and the stink of the fetid feelings we utter to ourselves when locked in dark closets." And of "High Lonesome" (1996), characterized by "cruelty, crudity and compassion," we said: "Don't start underlining great sentences when you read a book by Barry Hannah; you won't be able to stop."
